LCD-5s

Audeze LCD-5S

I have the LCD X ,and LCD XC and now the LCD-5S. They are all excellent, but the 5S is closer to using actual speakers. The LCD X sounds a little compressed in comparison. The low end extension is very low, and not in any way like normal headphones. I actually thought my Genelec sub was turned on while doing a mix one day. They power very well with a $600 Topping A90 discrete on high gain setting. They sounded almost the same just using my RME interface headphone amp on high gain. They are expensive, but in my case very worthwhile.

Truly unexpected state of perfect perfection

As somebody who’s constantly had problems, mixing and mastering utilizing headphones, I finally found my home. After trying multiple models all over the map the detail the low end the translation and low listening fatigue is just unbelievable package. I don’t recommend anything but I recommend these. I have never heard anything so musical yet precise at the same time.
